Strap for Style 34 Stainless Steel / Yellow Gold / Fluted / Champagne / Strap

The Tudor Style 12313-0017 features a lug width of 20mm, a precise standard that must be respected when changing straps. To verify, use a digital calliper measuring the internal distance between the two lugs: any replacement strap must respect this dimension to ensure perfect fit without lateral play.

The choice depends on the case variant: if bi-metallic (gold/steel), a chocolate brown alligator or cognac calf enhances the aesthetic contrast. For the stainless steel version, black remains the classic choice, whilst a bordeaux shell cordovan offers contemporary sophistication. The lug width is binding: 20mm.

Strap replacement requires a specific tool (spring bar tool or pin remover). Remove the bars from the lug pins taking care not to scratch the case. Insert the new strap aligning it with the lugs and reinsert the bars until you hear the locking click. If you are not experienced, entrust the task to a watchmaker or Casati Milano's service.

Yes, any strap with 20mm lug width is compatible with the 12313-0017. Artisanal milanostraps.it straps, customisable in leather and colour, guarantee construction equivalent to OEM straps whilst maintaining aesthetics and durability without compromise.

A vegetable-tanned calf or shell cordovan, if well maintained, lasts 3-5 years of daily wear. Alligator, thanks to its more compact structure, reaches 5-7 years. Longevity depends on humidity, body perspiration and cleaning frequency. Casati Milano offers an 18-month warranty and replacement of worn spring bars beyond the warranty period.
